3_VolREthics Initiative - 2nd Asia Regional Workshop - September 23, 2022

The VolREthics international initiative on ethical issues related with the involvement of healthy volunteers (HVs) in biomedical research was launched by the Ethics Committee of the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research (Inserm). A first international meeting, held in February 2022 at UNESCO Paris premises, identified research situations where the rights, well-being and safety of HVs may be jeopardized as well as good practices implemented in some countries to address these issues. Building on this first meeting, regional seminars are now being organized with two primary purposes: to update our knowledge on the scientific and ethical issues in specific regions of the world, and to build a repository of new insights and policy recommendations to safeguard the rights, well-being and safety of HV globally. SCOPE: Focusing on Asia, this regional seminar is co-hosted by the Institute for Clinical Research (Malaysia) and the Forum for Ethics Review Committees in India (FERCI). It includes discussions on real-life situations experienced by attendees from Asia, including that of healthy volunteers from different Asian countries.
